border security bipartisan piece of legislation and we can do this we should be supportive of immigration and our country is better for it, but it needs to be done the right way. unfortunately, our last two presidents have taken terrible decisions that have ultimately allowed us to have open borders which is something that we won t be able to sustain long term. given that this has been at the forefront of what almost all republicans have run on for the last, you know, however many years, why is it still such a fight? we are watching this play out on capitol hill now, republicans cannot agree what an immigration package should look like. why can t your party, given how much they prioritize this and the way they speak publicly, find a solution for this? sure, i parishiat the question. democrats are just as bad, too. they could have streamlined legal immigration. there is the bill, the usa act, that it was when republicans were in charge we tried to jam
very small, very faint. what is the question when there is not someone there to say it s not real? someone is like, yeah, it s real, or doesn t question it? exactly. this is an area that is nonregulated right now. of course, a lot comes under the first amendment. there is one state, texas has brought in a law that in the lead-up immediately to an election some restrictions on how deepfakes can be used against candidates but how that would be enforced remains to be seen. yeah, big concerns about the impact that could have. thank you. joining us is democrat senator maikel bennett of colorado. he introduced a bill to create a task force to look at u.s. policies on artificial intelligence. senator, thank you so much for being here. look, we had steve wozniak on yesterday, the co-founder of apple, who was warning against some of the dangers of a.i. and he said to us there needs to be regulation. what do you think realistically will be done in washington, if anything? i completel
